[b]While this is true, UVA is in the land of Confederates.  [/quote][/b]

Let me guess, you're posting from D.C. or Maryland and don't know that both were south of the Mason-Dixon line, right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mason%E2%80%93Dixon_line[/quote]

T[b]hat may be true, but the University of Maryland - as drab and uninspiring as it is - is not hard-wired at its core to idolize a rapist slaveholder.  So there's that. [/quote][/b]

You clearly don't know about the history of slavery and the eastern seaboard universities.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_at_American_colleges_and_universities[/quote]

Au contraire.  But that doesn't make UVA's continued idolization of Jefferson, which defines the school in the eyes of so many, any less pronounced or idiosyncratic.
